Take a look at one of the biggest cows on earth

Behemoth bovine “Big Moo” weighs in at over a ton, is over 6-foot-2 at the shoulder– and is still growing.

The Australian Guernsey colossus is over 14-feet-long, but is also udderly sweet, his owner Jo Vine told Caters News Agency.

In fact, he’s so docile that the steer shares a pen with another, regular-sized cow–named “Little Moo”–and frolics with the Vine’s young grandchildren, she said.

The 7-year-old gentle giant is believed to produce excess growth hormone, but his condition remains undiagnosed, his 50-year-old caretaker added.

It also doesn’t hurt that he loves to eat.

“His appetite is enormous,” Vine exclaimed. “We have another cow out there who we call Little Moo. They are in the same paddock together and [Little Moo] is just fat, but Big Moo is big all over: his bones are big, his legs are big, his head is massive.”

Big Moo came from the dairy farm where Vine’s husband, Philip, works, when she decided to save him from the “not very nice place male calves go.”

The couple had planned to raise him, with the notion he’d eventually end up “in the freezer,” as they’d done in the past.

Yet the steer was saved by his “personality.”

“He loves being scratched and played with, he’s followed me around since he was a calf,” Vine said. “He used to rest his head on my back and off we’d go and do my walk around the paddock.”

“He was just such a different cow that we decided we couldn’t put him in the freezer,” she continued. “Big Moo has always been calm and lovely and that’s why we kept him really.”

The Vines have yet to call Guinness World Records, but Big Moo is likely in the running, as the previous record-holder, Blossom, died last year.

The Holstein took the record in Aug. 2014 as the world’s tallest cow, at 6.2 feet tall.
